Barack and Michelle Obama Would Never Commit This Wedding Guest Faux Pas

Of the list of wedding faux pas an unruly guest can commit, chief among them is not responding to the save the date or invitation. And that cardinal rule is so sacred that even the Obamas—two of the busiest people on the planet—won’t break it.

Earlier this week, an excited daughter of a bride tweeted that the office of Barack and Michelle Obama responded to her mother’s save the date: “Congratulations on your wedding day. May this special time be blessed with love, laughter, and happiness,” the card read. “We wish you all the best as you embark on your journey together, and we hope your bond grows stronger with each passing year.”

As it turns out, the former president and First Lady have been responding promptly to wedding invitations, both during and after their time in the White House. Since that original tweet, more and more people came out of the woodwork to share the Obama office’s replies to their own wedding invitations.

Most of the senders didn’t expect an answer—Chelsea Roden and her wife told CNN they were just “grateful for the work his administration did.”

“When we first started dating in 2011, same-sex marriage wasn’t even on the table,” she said.

So the next time you’re desperately fumbling around your house for the return envelope to your cousin’s wedding, just remember: The former president can do it. So can you.
